Freshers' Squash on Wednesday 15th October

The Cambridge University Breakdance Club would like to welcome the freshers of 2008/09 and other students who have just signed up to the mailing list to the Freshers' Squash which is happening this coming Wednesday , on 15th October! NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE OF BREAKDANCING IS NECESSARY!

Come to the Palmerston Room in the Fisher Building, St. John's College at 7pm. Porters or students will be able to direct you, just ask them where the Fisher Building is.

We will give you a free class on basic footwork, as well as an induction on the culture behind breakdancing.

We will head to Lion's Yard for a jam afterwards (by 8.30pm), then drinks at a bar for some more chilling out and general bonding. Will be good to know new names and faces properly! (If you are new to Cambridge but advanced in breakin', we would love to meet you too!)

Clothing; anything loose, e.g. Tracksuits or baggy jeans, t-shirts, hoodies and trainers. Any accessories such as caps and armbands are more than welcome.

Bring £10 in case you want to become a member - if you feel that you want to continue classes, you will need to pay this annual fee. There will be membership forms you can fill in. You will also need to pay for your own drinks when we go out afterwards.

Hope to see many of you there!

About

Whether you want to learn for fun, be part of an unusual (and unexpected!) community or perform regularly at events during your years at Cambridge University, the Breakdance Club will provide a relaxed and fun atmosphere to teach the art of body movement in breakdancing.

We provide classes for beginners to advanced students; ranging from classes, regular training and workshops. If you want to get involved and start attending classes/training on a regular basis, you must pay a membership fee - for details on all this please browse links on the right hand side of this blog. 

Breakdancing is not as scary as it looks - there are surprisingly many different aspects within the dance you can concentrate on. First class you attend is free - come and check us out, you have nothing to loose!
